A post shared by Ayanda "MaNgubane" Borotho (@ayandaborotho)
-- THE FILM USES REAL-LIFE REFERENCE Brotho stated that South Africa is filled with horror stories of women who are being killed daily.
The violence is experienced both in public and private spaces.
The character she portrays is barricaded in her home, looking out of a window with a sense of danger lurking outside her door.
--
The actress-producer also says women can't escape the violence they face no matter how hard they try and that they're trapped in their homes with abusers and killers.
Outside the home, we are harassed and hunted.
We are separated from our children and families because we are running from physical and emotional danger.

CAMPAIGN SEEKS PUBLIC PARTICIPATION Thabisa Mkhwanazi who is the executive head of marketing at MultiChoice South Africa told Daily Sun that they wanted to show the reality of most women in South Africa through the film.
--
The campaign also asks the public to participate in the fight against GBV by donating to the DSTV Box Office platform.
Proceeds got to the Uyinene Mrwetywana Foundation which was launched in honour of 19-year-old university student, Uyinene Mrwetyana who was raped and murdered in 2019 at the Clareinch Post Office.
Although Halloween movies are based on fictional violence, in South Africa the violence perpetrated against women is sadly not fictional.
This campaign relays the danger, fear, and violence that is synonymous with the horror movie genre, that is experienced every day by South African women.
It's really sad to know that South Africa is the rape & GBV capital of the world by watching #EverydayIsHalloween on Box Office you are donating to the Uyinene Mrwetyana foundation which helps women fight against GBV pic.twitter.com/2RF0cOcSH3

The message #EverydayIsHalloween is trying to convey is that as much as the character is fictional, women experience GBV on a day to day basis even the statistics on the trailer are real, although the movie was fake. We need to do better gents! pic.twitter.com/QIK01uplRn

I love the message being sent through the #EverydayIsHalloween initiative. A lot of women fear for their lives everyday. It's heartwarming to see such an initiative contributing towards combating all the horrific experiences. https://t.co/cXsVpgK28L

Imagine living in a country where women aren t afraid to walk out the door because they don t fear being attacked the moment they step out. In South Africa, we live in constant fear. #EverydayisHalloween for us and it shouldn t be like that. pic.twitter.com/vi4cBGUAfs
